I also had my boss, when I worked in fast food, list this as one of the issues he had with the movie, when it came out (to quote him, “he’s a white character; no offense but that’s what he is,” which was particularly galling, given the aforementioned fact).

“Yet another person claiming it’s racist to have a white Santa. By the way, for all you kids watching at home, Santa just is white. Just because it makes you feel uncomfortable doesn’t mean it has to change … Jesus was a white man too. He’s a historical figure, that’s a verifiable fact, as is Santa.”

Megyn Kelly said that stupid shit on TV 10 years ago and she is even more popular today.
